Question

what is the correct meaning of the word parallel? beside across into above

Explanation:

To determine the correct meaning of "parallel" in this context, we analyze the options. "Parallel" in terms of position often implies being alongside or beside (e.g., parallel lines run beside each other without intersecting). "Across" implies a crossing over, "into" implies entering, and "above" implies a higher position, which do not match the meaning of "parallel".

Answer:

A. beside
